The objective of this SBIR research project is to develop a treatment for interlaminar reinforcement that maintains the composite"s in-plane properties. Because the interlaminar region is a critical component of the composite and no current technology adequately addresses its weaknesses, this research has the potential for major commercial and technological impacts. The current technology gap to a ...

The purpose of this proposal is to meet the needs outlined in Navy SBIR topic N211-024.  Zippertubing proposes to help develop a sunshade cover for use with a munitions lifting assembly and meeting all associated performance requirements.  Zippertubing will research adequate materials and work with vendors to determine what modifications or custom formulations will be required to meet or exceed ...

YIELECTRIC COATINGS ON VEHICLES CAN ALTER THEIR RADAR IMAGE SIGNIFICANTLY. THIS PROPOSAL IS DIRECTED TO DETERMINING NUMERICALLY THE REFLECTIVITY FOR AN OBJECT COVERED BY A DIELECTRIC LAYER. A CALCULATION WILL BE DONE USING BASIC PHYSICAL PRINCIPLES TO DEFINE THE THEORETICAL BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEM FOR THE DIELECTRIC LAYER. THE SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM WILL BE OBTAINED NUMERICALLY USING MATRIX INVER ...

XML Cross-Domain Guard (X2DG) is an advanced rules-based solution to the problem of sharing content across security domains. Operating a guard product typically requires a “man in the loop.” And changing the behavior of a guard typically requires skilled and time-consuming reprogramming. Within military coalitions and among intelligence organizations such delays are unacceptable. X2DG allows a ...

It is currently nearly impossible to define, manage and deploy the rules for secure information access in an agile and consistent manner. Moreover, there is no robust rules-based implementation for cross-domain message filtering (higher-security to lower-security transfers). Without the ability to enact and deploy XML-based security policy (rules sets) quickly, easily, and with a minimum of man-in ...

50% of the entire cost to put a million-dollar satellite into orbit comes from the satellite’s solar panels. Even worse, these panels lose 10-15% efficiency each YEAR from radiation exposure. These Chinese manufactured solar panels put U.S. national secur

Present, laser based, countermeasure systems are too large and too expensive for deployment. Aculight will apply its propritary optical mounting techniques to reduce the size and cost of these IR transmitters. Further, Aculight will remove the power,controls and diode laser pumps from the laser head allowing direct mounting on Navy high performance aircraft pointing and tracking turrets. The re ...

The Workforce Effectiveness Augmented Reality (WEAR) training program is an effective workforce solution. Our software platform combines three main focal points: learning theory, augmented reality (AR), and current USAF effective workforce training. This approach has two immediate applications we have identified based on the specific needs of two different Air Force bases (Tinker and Robins). The ...

ABSTRACT: ArmorWorks will develop an airman"s personal power distribution system that employs inductively coupled power transfer at connection nodes to portable electronic equipment. The system reduces battery logistic burdens created by the use of airman mounted electronic devices and will continue to be ever more practical as advances in power management reduce peripheral device power requireme ...

ABSTRACT: A phase II program is proposed leading to integrate wireless inductive power transfer technology on two prototype tactical vests. The focus of the phase II program would be the development and evaluation of a full-scale inductive power transfer system on a PRC-152 radio by both modifying and interfacing its battery. Because a mating vest/pouch that contains inductive charging circuits so ...
